How many hours will a set of regular alkaline batteries last? Is it worth trying to use Eneloop AA batteries with C-spacers?

I don't know what Eneloop batteries are. We used rechargeables. Our son slept 12-13 hours each night and it usually swung the whole time. Then we'd charge the batteries all day and start again.

I use the rechargeable Eneloop AA batteries in everything in my home & have no problems with them. They work fine in my detectors that take AA size.

yes, if the batteries you are using are lithium, the alkaline dont like cold, lithiums dont care, if you cannot find lithium C cells, you can get 1.5 v AA lithium, and use C adapter. will last just as long, relatively the same price

On a fresh set of 2-AAA alkaline batteries, I managed to get close to 50 hours of listening time, over the course of about 2 months. Completely blew me away. Before that, I tried a set of the more-expensive Energizer Lithium batteries, and I only got about 25 hours out of them.

yes I use them most of the time lithium batteries will last longer but I am not sure if they give you superior lighting at first. Of course lasting longer will give you better beam of light longer when alkalines start to lose power.

Hi W.J. Two thoughts here. First, I'm not happy with the performance of the battery's life -- seem to work OK for low power items (i.e. wireless mouse), but fall way short of the mark for higher demand items (flashlight) -- I'd guess 10 to 15% of an Alkaline battery life. That said, and in all fairness, it appears there were a number of 'knock-offs' introduced into the selling stream. I'm not sure if mine were part of the counterfit lot. The customer service group at Eneloop aren't the easiest to work with either. I invested about $350 in batteries, cases, charger, sleeves. I wish I could get my money back and move on. Sorry to share my disappointing experience. I hope yours is better.

Use 6 AA alkaline batteries only. If you use rechargeable batteries, the power of the rechargeable will not be sufficient.

That's exactly correct. This "spacer" devices turns an ordinary AA battery into a C-sized battery. The only drawback is the battery's capacity (since it's a AA cell) may be less than the typical 'C' battery.

Generally lasts about 20-30 minutes of continuous use with fresh alkaline batteries. If you switch it off when not in use, you can get as much as 40 minutes out of it total.

For maximum battery life you must use the Lithium AA cells. Alkaline cells will give shorter life. With Lithium cells I get about ten hours of heavy use. I hope this helps.

Those AmazonBasics High-Capacity AA batteries are slightly fatter than regular eneloop cell, which are alreaddy slightly fatter than alkaline AA. So if you have to resort to using eneloop-lite in battery compartments, then those high-capacity cells are not going to fit.

This is typically hard to gauge since you can put either regular alkaline batteries or rechargeable batteries I currently have rechargeable batteries in since they last the longest of any non rechargeables, I am using Sanyo batteries and their charger, they typically last me about three months that is if I don't use them on high drain things like games and with games about two months

2 wonderfully inexpensive totally common AA batteries available almost anywhere! Like to pay a bit more? Go alkaline or lithium AA for longer lasting. They are also easy to change!

I don't think so. All I know is that it takes maybe 3 - 6 hours to do a full charge. I've been using Eneloop batteries for over a year now and haven't noticed any difference in their charge life from then to now.

Buy a good brand such as Eneloop batteries or BP, type AA do not use cheap generic brands of China, if not better alkaline batteries. Greetings.

they last pretty long for me. It really depends on the type of item your using these batteries for. But for me they always last at least 5 hours. Theyre pretty reliable for me. They also take like a day to fully recharge for me, i go to sleep & when i wake up their fully charged.

If you use heavy duty batteries, it is shorter. I only use alkaline batteries. It depends on how much you listen to it. My batteries last over 3 weeks at least. It depends on how much you use it. I don't listen to it all day, just when I go out. I hope this helps. I really don't keep up with how long the batteries last. I just keep an extra battery in my purse so I will always have a battery no matter what. It is well worth what I paid for it.
